French national team head coach Didier Desham summed up the results of the Nations League third-place match against Germany (2:0).
I’m trying to think soberly: we gave our opponents too much of the initiative. There was something like constant movement on the pitch, but it didn’t lead to anything. If everything went wrong, I would have no excuses. Third place is better than fourth, and we’re finishing the season with a victory over Germany. It’s a break for us, but not for the players. And in September, important matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers await us.
France beat Germany 2:0 to finish third in the tournament. The best player of the match was French striker Kilian Mbappe.
